BlockBeats News, May 30th: The game between the U.S. and Iran regarding the ceasefire memorandum continues to escalate. On May 29th local time, U.S. President Trump stated that he would make a "final decision" on the Iran issue at the White House Situation Room. However, according to U.S. media citing senior government officials, the meeting, which lasted about two hours, ultimately failed to reach a final approval on the relevant agreement.

Trump reiterated that the U.S. demands Iran to permanently give up nuclear weapons, fully open the Strait of Hormuz without charging tolls, and stated that Iran's enriched uranium would be destroyed. However, Iran quickly refuted these claims, calling Trump's remarks "half true," with some content not aligning with the agreement text.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command warned that it would carry out military operations near the Strait of Hormuz and continue to enforce maritime blockade measures against Iran, forcing 115 commercial vessels to change course.

Iran, on the other hand, stated that information exchange with the U.S. is ongoing, but both parties have not reached a final consensus. The Iranian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the U.S. should stop recent "illegal activities," stating that the maritime blockade violates the ceasefire agreement and hinders the free navigation of international shipping.

Regarding the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, a spokesperson for Iran's Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee stated that Iran has actual control over the strait. Vessels must obtain permission and adhere to relevant arrangements to pass through. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also emphasized that Iran and Oman, as coastal countries, are responsible for maintaining the strait's security and maritime order.

Additionally, Iranian sources revealed that the agreement text is still pending domestic approval in Iran, and a final decision has not been made. Iran emphasized that the unfreezing of $12 billion of Iranian assets by the U.S. is one of the core elements of the agreement and that further negotiations will not proceed until the funds are unfrozen.

Analysts point out that the current situation between the U.S. and Iran is not a communication failure but a "strategic ambiguity" game where both sides are vying for negotiation initiative and moral high ground. The U.S. hopes to portray Iran as delaying negotiations, while Iran emphasizes that it has not succumbed to external pressure. This mutual pressure and probing are expected to continue until the final stage of the agreement is reached.
